Iberian raccoons?

In a study published in March in Ecology, scientists detailed these findings, which they say are the first-ever observations of a carnivore soaking its dead prey in water.

I don't understand this statement. House cats are famous for dumping prey animals and toys in their water dishes. There are also videos of tigers bringing kills to water, and searches indicated I might find other large cats doing the same if I put in the effort.
